Yes, I just had to make that an alliteration.
So yesterday marked day four of Molly-sitting! We started off the day with a nice walk around the park. She was adorable, and of course made several friends. I try and take her on one of these longer walks once in the morning and once in the evening.
I love the park because it barely feels like you are in the city. Haha until you hear the bus behind you “151 Michigan to Belmontâ€â€¦
My brother had mentioned he tried to get Molly to jump over this small yellow fence but she wouldn’t. I decided to attempt it to… no luck. She was not having it. She’ll leap over furniture but this fence was just too scary!
Yesterday I also got a chance to go home, trade out clothes, get some school work done and go to the gym. I hadn’t been home since Saturday morning so it was nice to re-collect myself.
For meals during the week I made Elise’s Crockpot Lentils. I only had 2 cups of lentils instead of 3 so I only used 1 cup of water and 1 cup of soup. but mine still turned out pretty soupy. Delicious, haha, but soupy. I’m leaving it in the pot overnight hoping it will thicken up a little bit.
For lunch I made the most simple yet AMAZING meal. I made a sweet potato in the microwave (stab it a few times with a knife, wrap in saran wrap, and microwave for 4:30) and then I had some cooked chicken that I poured 1/2 T of coconut oil on and reheated in the microwave, topped it with some avocado, shredded cheese and salsa.
The coconut oil really made this amazing! I know everyone always says that coconut oil really makes a difference, but I’m finally a believer! So good.
And yes, it looks like a mess in the photo. But so good.
I also remember reading on Ashley’s post a while back that you can use coconut oil for so many things, including using it as conditioner in your hair! I’ve been meaning to try that, I need to! Haha although I might smell like coconut oil all day!
What have you used coconut oil for?
What’s your favorite crockpot recipe? I need ideas!
